If someone just wants to split lists instead of converting to floats
and getting
weird answers on pd-list, there's [gf/s2l], which does not do
anything else
than splitting (as it is like with any string-splitter outside of
pd/max).
Once split, is there a way to convert symbol-atom "19.95" to a
float?
Two work-arounds come to my mind:
Send the symbol to [textfile] save it as a file, read the file again and output the result.
Send it through a [netsend] / [netreceive] pair.
The former involves writing to disk, but the latter is even worse in that messes up depth-first order.
I've written Pd Vanilla hacks that do it without writing to disk
Aha.
and posted them on the list.
Any pointers?
